Because this does not list net emission but rather consumption per capita, it does not make sense to blame China for producing, since basically what happened is that the West outsourced its industrial sector to China, but the consumption of the Chinese production happens outside. So even though the US outsourced it to China, they are still the biggest polluters by consumption per capita.
